Portgas D. Ace is one of the main characters and adopted brother of Monkey D. Luffy And Sabo in One Piece.

Background

Late son of the King of Pirates, Gol D. Rodger and his wife, Portgas D. Rouge, Ace was kept inside of his mother's womb and carried for a full twenty months by his mother in fear of the World Government having their hands on Ace, in which they were seeking to destroy Rodger's bloodline. After a year and a full three months of Rodger's execution event, Ace would be raised in the Baterilla in South Blue, with Rouge only living long enough to give Ace his name.

Ace would be later adopted by Luffy's grandfather Monkey D. Garp, moving to East Blue and into Foosha village. As he went their, he didn't have a fresh start when he met Luffy. He somehow was extremely hostile to Luffy but Luffy would bring his hostilities back at him, although both their grudges were met to an end when Luffy stated he wanted to be friends with Ace. A short time after, they met a young boy who goes by the name of Sabo, who both him and Ace decided to plan to kill Luffy as a secret but the three had a brotherly bond.

Like Luffy deciding to form a crew, Ace would form a pirate crew known as the Spade Pirates however he and his crew would be later defeated by Whitebeard and Ace would become 2nd Division to him.
